The sun is shining which means I'm doing my best to stay indoors in the shadows and play boardgames with the curtains closed (can't stand that sun glare off the sleeved cards, lol). May has been a slower game month than usual for us. A cancelled meetup, Uni assignment deadlines, and that damn heat, all… Continue reading And that was May 2024

And that was April 2024
Quarter of the year gone by and winter is definitely behind us now as the sun is beginning to come out. We've had a great month of gaming with a visit to CajunCon (an Instagram meetup that didn't require us to drive for 2 hours plus). We've also been having a lot of fun with… Continue reading And that was April 2024

Quarter of the year gone by and winter is definitely behind us now. KICKSTARTER ARRIVALS The month started in style with my copy of SHIPWRIGHTS OF THE NORTH SEA: REDUX turning up, along with the big box for EXPLORERS OF THE NORTH SEA.

And that was February 2024
Spring is nearly here folks, so lets look back over February. KICKSTARTER ARRIVALS While the Kickstarter arrival drought continues, my oldest outstanding campaign (backed in Sept 2021) finally arrived. And it was a big one! AGEMONIA was a campaign that I followed with a lot of excitment in the months leading up to its launch… Continue reading And that was February 2024
And that was January 2024
I believe this post marks the begining of my third year of montly Blog updates on my website. How time flies. KICKSTARTER ARRIVALS It's that early period of the year where Crowdfunded games are few and far between. We only had one arrival, but there's the promise of an epic February if the planets align.… Continue reading And that was January 2024
And that was our Wedding!
Best day ever. HISTORY Four years ago I met someone through an online dating app, and my opening message to her was "I see from your list of questons that you like board games. What kind of games do you play?" Two days ago, we got married. Our love for playing board games together is… Continue reading And that was our Wedding!
And that was 2023!
Another year of gaming is over and we say goodbye to 2023. It's been a week since the ball dropped and a million and one fireworks were set off across the world. I thought I'd take a look back over the last 12 months and pick out some highlights from among the Kickstarter arrivals, new… Continue reading And that was 2023!
And that was December 2023
Happy New Year everyone. The final month of 2023 is behind us, and with the festive season meaning time with friends and family, there was more gaming than average going on over the last 31 days. There was the local gaming group's monthly meetup, two trips to see family, a games afternoon with one group… Continue reading And that was December 2023
And that was November 2023
Nights are getting longer as we close in on the end of the year. But board games are perfect for those rainy days and cold evenings. November saw us finally complete our last challenge for the year, and we had a fun weekend in Taunton at GridCon 4. So not only did we play some… Continue reading And that was November 2023
And that was GridCon 2023
This year we were leaning more towards meet ups and conventions where the priority was geared around playing games (old and new) instead of the cult of the new and going home with massive purchase piles. While there are a lot of games I would love to add to our collection, we currently don't have… Continue reading And that was GridCon 2023
